<p>The Industrial Energy Transformation Fund was announced in October 2018. We are
providing £315m for this fund to support industrial energy efficiency and decarbonisation
projects. This will help to bring down energy costs and reduce carbon emissions for
vital industries, including energy intensive industries. We have sought stakeholder
views through our informal consultation as well as a market intelligence exercise,
helping to inform the design of the fund. We will publish a consultation setting out
our preferred fund design and invite stakeholders to comment shortly.</p><p> </p><p>The
IETF will complement existing schemes such as the Industrial Heat Recovery Scheme
and the Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator.</p>

<p>Patient safety remains a key priority for the National Health Service. NHS Improvement

can recognise and support</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of subject
access requests made to NHS hospitals were responded to within the correct timescale
since the General Data Protection Regulation came into force; and what steps he is
taking to reduce the volume of those requests.

<p>We do not currently collect this data. Individual trusts may hold this data but
are not required to share this with the Government. There are currently no steps being
taken to reduce the volume of these requests.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of subject access requests
made to the Subject Access Team of the Ministry of Justice have been responded to
within the correct timescale since the General Data Protection Regulation came into
force; and what steps she is taking to reduce the volume of those requests.

<p>I can confirm that the proportion of subject access requests made to the Ministry
of Justice since June 2018 that were responded to within time is 75%. This figure
includes requests received up to and including March 2019, representing the latest
available performance results.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice takes its data
protection responsibilities seriously. We have seen a significant increase in the
numbers of subject access requests received since the General Data Protection Regulation
came into force. We have developed plans to address this increase and taken steps
to achieve the desired level of performance. We have:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Reviewed
and improved working practices and streamlined staff training</li><li>Increased staffing
levels</li><li>Invested in technology and we are conducting a trial to release more
information to offenders in prison.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The volume of subject access
requests received by the department is beyond its control. Since the implementation
of the General Data Protection Regulation and the accompanying Data Protection Act
2018 on the 25 May 2018, the number of SARs have increased by 160% from offenders
and 55% from MoJ staff and members of the public.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of subject access
requests made to the Child Maintenance Service were responded to within the correct
timescale since the General Data Protection Regulation came into force; and what
steps she is taken to reduce the level of the backlog of those requests.

<p>Data is not available to show the number of Right of Access requests that included
a request for Child Maintenance Group records prior to 5/11/2018.</p><p>Therefore,
the following information shows the number Right of Access Requests that included
a request for Child Maintenance Group records from 5/11/2018</p><p><strong>CMG RECORDS
REQUESTS COMPLETED</strong></p><p>For the period 5/11/2018 to 21/5/2019:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Number

the other records that were requested within the RAR) within statutory deadline</p></td><td><p>1130</p></td><td><p>66.9%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Regarding the current workload we have the following measures in place:</p><p>We

<p>Most post-mortem examinations are carried out by pathologists who specialise in
histopathology. However, post-mortems are not a requirement of the Certificate of
Completion of Training in histopathology, therefore, the number of histopathologists
who are qualified to carry out post-mortem examinations for coroners is not held centrally.</p><p>Overall,
in January 2019, there were 1,206 full time equivalent (FTE) consultant histopathologists
in the National Health Service in England. This represents a 10% (119 FTE) increase
compared to January 2010.</p><p>Health Education England has committed to attract
and retain more histopathologists by 2021 as part of its Cancer Workforce Plan for
England published in December 2017. In 2019, 100% of specialist histopathology training
places were filled.</p>

<p>The Bank of England does not own any gold reserves of its own, except for two bars
held for display at the Bank of England Museum. However, the Bank provides safe custody
for the UK's gold reserves and for other customers. It has only started recently publishing
the weight of all the gold in its custody on its website, which includes data back
to 2011. On 30 June 2018, it held 166,516,000 fine troy ounces of gold. There is no
equivalent data available for 1998 and 2008.</p>

<p>The Government is clear that the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) should be studied
as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. It is limited in size in order to allow
pupils to continue to study additional subjects that reflect their individual interests
and strengths, including arts subjects. The proportion of pupils taking at least one
Arts GCSE has fluctuated but remained broadly stable since the EBacc was introduced
in 2010</p><p> </p><p>Arts subjects are not limited to the classroom, and according
to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s Taking Part Survey, in 2017-18,
96% of children aged 5-15 had engaged with the arts in the past 12 months[1]. The
government is providing almost £500 million of funding between 2016-20 for arts and
cultural education programmes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] The arts cover music activities,
theatre/drama, reading/writing, arts crafts and design, film, video, media, and radio
activities, dance activities, street arts, circus, carnival, and festival activities.</p>
